If I hardware and have it hanging from the ceiling what do I do with the chain? Cut it off?

We opened up one of the chain links (using pliers--wrap some tissue or fabric around the chain links so as not to chip the paint on the chain) and removed the extra chain. Easily done.

You can cut the chain smaller to the length you prefer. The closest to the ceiling you can get is about 4 inches.

You could extend it with chains easily. One end of the chain would hook to the loop coming out of the ceiling, and the other end of the chain would hook through the hole on the top of the pot rack. I could recommend getting black chain at a hardware store; silver chain would be too shiny.

It's not a solid piece, but a separate piece of netting that holds the loop that hangs from the hook in the ceiling. If you sew, or know someone who does, together you could probably figure out a way to make it happen with wires or ropes. See that cone at the top? that's the separate piece I refer to.

There were two chains with a hook in the middle to be anchored in the ceiling. I guess the chain was about 4 feet long and you could use all of it or some of it. That would be two feet of chain per corner. I threw out the blueprint. I put four anchors into the ceiling. I used hand-tools to cut the chain to length. I just pulled on a link with pliers and pried with a screwdriver and popped the link open. My ceiling was angled so that was a big reason for that, but 4 anchors add greater stability to the potrack. It's a lightweight potrack, but I after putting mine up, I love it a lot and use it every day. It does a good job and looks nice. If you have a real nice kitchen, you probably would purchase something a lot heavier. This works in my small house. Good luck.

We attached these to hooks we already had screwed into the ceiling. All we had to do was hang it by a link that was lower in the chain. Doesn't really change the appearance and kept it from hitting the ground.

If you need to use the chains you can cut them, so yes. I hung mine from the kitchen ceiling over my island and didn't need the chains. Looks good and free's up storage space.

current chain is pretty short. the mounting point is on the bar, the chain is just to secure it. I just use it on the floor, haven't mount on the wall/ceiling yet.

Hi nancy, The chain is much longer and u can choose how low from the ceiling u want to hang it.

I don't know. The top link is a loop, so you'd need a hook to hang from your ceiling and you'd have to figure out how to secure it.

it comes with a short chain, you can hang it, but you need your own hardware, that would not be too hard to do. ok -ron

There are hooks on the back to hang either vertical or horizontal. It does not come with hardware for hanging though. I originally was going to buy a chain for hanging it, but decided not to hang it.

The dimensions of the frame are 18 in. by 24 inches. When installing it, it may be hung at any height from the ceiling. Plenty of chain was supplied so I was able to hang it from my 10 foot ceiling with no modifications (I was concerned I might have to acquire additional chain from a hardware store, but this was not necessary). If you have the more common 8 foot ceiling you will probably have more chain than you need.

not 100% sure but its long enough to do that i hung it off the ceiling and had to cut the chain a lot i would guess 30 to 36 inches

it has a canopy to cover the elec.. box in ceiling you will need at least a small section of the chain to hang the fixture ... fixture comes with about 5 feet of chain for swagging .. :) you could use 1 link of the chain ... but i know you need at least one link...

You can shorten the overall height of the fixture by removing links of the hanging chain.

My installer also cut the original chain (size unknown) to 10 inches. In our tract home the ceiling is 7 feet from the floor. So that puts the chandelier well-positioned above a table for lighting and cleaning.
